PROJECT GOALS
The vision for the North Fremont Street Corridor is to have a Mixed-Use Village along North Fremont Street that serves the adjacent neighborhoods and visitors. The corridor will consist of a mixture of residences, retail shops, services, and jobs in close proximity. A unique identity will be reflected through its architecture, streetscape, signage, and gateways. The travel corridor will continue to provide an important connection between Highway 1 and Canyon Del Rey Boulevard (Highway 218). It will serve as a "Complete Street" that is transit, bicycle, and pedestrian-friendly, but will still move traffic effectively and efficiently.

The Specific Plan for North Fremont was adopted on April 1, 2014 and amended on August 17, 2016. The North Fremont Specific Plan Planning Area consists of approximately 47.7 acres encompassing both sides of the 0.87 mile North Fremont Street from the eastern City Limits west to State Highway 1. This area, designated by the City's General Plans as one of three planned "Mixed-Use Neighborhoods", is strategically located between two state highways (Highways 1 and 218) and is in close proximity to the Monterey Peninsula and Highway 68.

One additional parcel APN 013-171-008 could be included in this opportunity site. Site 4: Site 4 includes the entire block bordered by North Fremont, Casa Verde, Fairgrounds Road, and Highway One: Total area of collective parcels = 8.61 acres. The vision for this site is to combine the properties and develop a small conference center with hotel rooms, meeting rooms, restaurants, and some retail. The facility could be used in conjunction with the Fairgrounds facilities or the other hotels. The site could also provide additional parking that could be made available during Fairgrounds events or to other commercial businesses.
The Specific Plan identifies opportunities for private property owners to redevelop sites. These sites may have opportunities to consolidate properties or water credits.
